Speed restrictions and manual traffic operations will be in place along State Highway 2, south of Te Puke, today as routine road resurface maintenance works take place.

The resurfacing work will be carried out between Strang Rd and Rangiuru Rd along the highway from 7.30am to 5pm.

The NZ Transport Agency is warning motorists to expect delays and advises drivers to allow additional travel time in their journeys.

The resurface works will continue along the highway on Sunday at the same time (between 7.30am to 5.00pm), between No1 Rd and Te Matai Rd, south of Te Puke.

A 30 km/h speed restriction and manual traffic management will be in place during the duration of the works.

This work is weather dependent, and if wet, the work will be undertaken on the next suitable day.
